I don't see how quick views helps.

I'll explain what I'm attempting to do so maybe it will be clearer.

Sometimes when I'm reading through a newsgroup I need to refer to an
e-mail in order to answer a news post it. I don't want to leave the
newsgroup or in any way disturb the currently listed messages in the
newsgroup or my position in the newsgroup.

What I used to do in OE was do Edit, Find, Message and get a dialog
which would let me select any mail or news folder (I usually know what
folder I want to look in) and then enter some search criteria (From, To,
Subject, Body, etc.).

If I attempt to do that in WLM while I'm in a newsgroup, the look in
option does not let me select any of the POP3 mail folders (I don't have
any IMAP or HTTP accounts). It does let me select the storage folders,
which often have what I want. But not the POP3 Inbox or Sent Items
which may be where I want to look. And quick views don't seem to show
in the Find dialog either.

Robert suggested opening the Find dialog while in mail mode. That seems
to work. But since it's not something I use every day, I'd probably
forget to open the dialog before I really need it. And I don't really
like having more dialogs open that I really need.

Unless I can come up with something better, I might just abandon the
POP3 folders and keep everything in the storage folders. With messages
rules I can easily download all incoming mail to a storage folder Inbox.
With Sent Items I'd probably have to move them manually. But I don't
send a lot of mail, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.
